Swarms

A collection of photographs showing bees swarming on hives. The blue hive attracted the most swarms. One swarm decided to enter the small white hive. The next morning I found one of the queens walking around the outside of the entrance. The garden ornament also always attracts swarms. (Click on photograph to enlarge)

This lot swarmed out of a nearby hive and decided to enter the white hive. A Queen was found walking around in the grass in the morning

Shapes

The blue hive seemed to attract many swarmed during the year.
